Level 96 Hardcore "commited suicide"

Hey,

This just happened to me and I want to report it exactly as it occurred.

I was playing my Hardcore character KabajiWitchiiiii (level 96) with a Headhunter belt equipped. I was fighting a Rogue Exile named Vasa, of the Death Akhara. After killing her and picking up the loot, I was standing there looking at the drops and casting spells. Suddenly my character instantly dropped dead and the message showed “KabajiWitchiiiii has committed suicide.”

It looks like Headhunter took a modifier from that Rogue Exile and that modifier caused damage to me every time I cast. I don’t know if Rogue Exiles normally have unique modifiers, but in this case it seems she did, and the transferred modifier instantly killed me even though Omen of Resurgence triggered.

Details:

Character: KabajiWitchiiiii

Account: kabajisan

League: HC Abyssal League

Time: ~01:00 AM (GMT+3)

Item equipped: Headhunter

Enemy: Rogue Exile “Vasa, of the Death Akhara”

Death message: “KabajiWitchiiiii has committed suicide.”

I’m posting this so devs and players know this interaction happened and can look into whether Headhunter can steal harmful self-damage modifiers from Rogue Exiles.

Man, you win the coolest death prize in 0.3.x.

Other than that head hunter has been quite the trap. I wonder how you managed with the shroud/shade walker.

are rogue exiles considered uniques or rares?
thought they were uniques

They should count as Uniques and not Rares, that is why I was so confused in the beginning.
